Describe a piece of software that you use often
You should say:
· What it is
· What you use it for
· How you got to know about it
· And explain why you use it
To be perfectly honest, I’m not entirely sure if the software that I’m going to talk about is classed as a piece of software or an application because I’m not an IT geek, but I know it’s not hardware so I’m guessing it is software, anyway I’ve decided to talk about Microsoft Office.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been using a version of Office and, in a nutshell*, it is indispensable. When I got my first PC, many years back, it came with an Office package and I’ve been utilising it ever since. As you’re probably aware, there are various components such as word, excel and powerpoint and the others have slipped my mind*, but actually I don’t use any of the other bits of it.
Like I said, I mainly use three parts of Office – word for typing documents, excel for producing spreadsheets and powerpoint for presentations. I’ve been making use of it for years, but sadly I’m no expert and really I should go on a course to become more proficient. I’m just so snowed under with work that I struggle to get my work done so I don’t have time to learn how to use it better. I know I should because if I became more IT/computer literate, then I would probably be able to get my work done more quickly.
With word and powerpoint, I’m an average user, but I’m pretty hopeless when it comes to excel. I wish I could use it better so I really should find time or make time to do a course. It would save me time in the long run because I waste hours trying to figure out how to do stuff in it. Mind you, despite being a satisfactory user of it at best, I couldn’t live without it.
Describe a piece of software that you use often.
What it is
The piece of software I use frequently is Microsoft Office. While I’m not entirely sure if it’s technically classified as software or an application, given that it’s not hardware, I’m confident it falls into the software category.
What you use it for
Microsoft Office is incredibly versatile and consists of several programs. Personally, I predominantly use three key components: Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. I rely on Word for creating and editing documents, Excel for managing and analyzing data in spreadsheets, and PowerPoint for designing and delivering presentations. Despite the suite’s range of applications, these three are the ones I use most frequently.
How you got to know about it
My introduction to Microsoft Office happened many years ago when I first acquired a personal computer. The Office package was included with my PC, and I’ve been utilizing it ever since. Over time, I’ve become quite dependent on these tools for both professional and personal tasks.
And explain why you use it
Microsoft Office is indispensable in my daily life. Its wide array of features allows me to handle a variety of tasks efficiently. However, I’m not an expert in using all its functions. While I manage reasonably well with Word and PowerPoint, I find Excel challenging and wish I could use it more effectively. My hectic schedule often leaves me too overwhelmed to invest time in mastering it further. Nevertheless, the productivity benefits of Microsoft Office are undeniable; it helps me organize and present information clearly, making it essential for my work. Despite my average proficiency, I couldn’t imagine managing my tasks without it.
